That’s a breakout

Monica Kingsley Monicakingsley

Not yielding an inch, indices sprang higher right after the opening bell yesterday. It was more clear in case of ES that there wouldn‘t be a breakdown below any premarket support level, but it was Nasdaq that delivered true strength, and it was beyond MAGS. With software pulling clearly higher, it was particularly that broadening in tech (where semis and DRAM participated) that changed the picture intraday, allowing for a really one-sided session yesterday.

As said last week, Thursday was a well-timed reversal higher, Friday underwhelmed (bringing up thoughts of more than typical retracement), and Monday retired that rollover notion – and yesterday was a most clear continuation, with us facing either repeat of yesterday‘s rip after the opening bell, or a bit of a retreat first to push higher later – still before SNDK earnings, which will be very volatile for all of tech except MAGS, to simplify.

Taking out the lines in the sand

Good Day... And a Wonderful Wednesday to you! Well, just as I suspected, my beloved Cardinals' bats went silent last night in the Bronx, and they lost 0-2... The Yankees' bats were exactly a murderer's row, but they hit 2 homers and won. I said yesterday that the song : Just Once In My Life, could be the Cardinals' song after hitting 5 home runs the previous night!

9-3: Is the Federal Reserve’s vote tally Warsh's new forward guidance?

The rate did not move. Neither did the statement, and that’s the more interesting fact. Set the July 29 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement beside the one issued on June 17, and the two documents are identical apart from a single verb and a paragraph at the bottom naming three dissenters.
